Ok I just bought a 2003 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7l V8 magnum just under 120,000 miles on it. My issue is after I did the paperwork an got the keys I drove 20-30 mins to my insurance office an when I shut her off my blower stayed on it wasn't blowing cold nor hot air just like it was sucking air from outside an blowing it inside I restarted the truck now the steering wheel is in the upward position (an yes this matters) and kill the engine again this time it goes off so I go inside take care of my business an come back out when I start the truck up again (note the steering wheel is now back to my preferred position) an guess what no air at all hot nor cold I turn it on an off even shut off an restart the truck an nothing I have since had the dealers mechanic look at it he says it has to do with the ignition. I'm looking for a second, 3rd an maybe a 4th opinion, because I've since drove it 5 1/2 hrs away for about 2-3 weeks an have found that not only does it continue to blow sometimes after the key is taken out requiring me to put the key back in an jiggle it til it shuts off but the position of the steering column kills it as well while I'm driving an then last night for the first time it had to have came on while I was sleeping (I forgot to turn the a.c. power *** to the off position) because when I went to get in it to go to the gym I couldn't unlock the doors with my clicker an my keys where locked in the truck, so if anyone has any info on this please let me know asap so I can talk to themechanic this in the next 3 days while I'm off work an thank you in advance

I’m going to say ignition switch if it shuts off when jiggling it.

Could be a bad circuit board in the tail lights, their known for burning up, pull them out and check the sockets, if they look brown or burnt then there it is, could also be a bad ground so trace some wires and find the grounds and clean them up. The board are cheap to replace.
